Abstract

In order to achieve decarbonization of thermal power plants, we conducted a demonstration test at the Hekinan Thermal Power Plant to substitute a part of coal fuel with ammonia fuel last year. The demonstration test was conducted by substituting 20% of the coal fuel with ammonia with good results, and now our construction is progressing as planned for commercial operation.

In addition, we have considered safety measures for ammonia handling, including facility design and operational considerations, and we conducted disaster prevention drills and communicated with the local community. In this session, I will explain & explore these initiatives.
